EMPTY HANDED.
upon pulpits and pedestals we crown the ethereal.
ages spent studying ghosts from worlds unknowable.
struggling with ambitions to be god, to be like god.
minds trembling, we pray to tame inclinations inconsistent
with civility.
all too aware of our impermanence, we scour Earth's ends
for presence elsewhere to prove us everlasting.
empty handed I embrace the undeniable:
the presence of death, the breath of life, immutable
truths. an agent for the present, the fire of vitality my torch to bear.
